<h2>The temperature of the air is 66.8° C</h2>
Explanation:
From the Newton's velocity of sound relationship , the velocity of sound is directly proportional to the square root of temperature .
In this case The velocity of sound = frequency x wavelength
= 798 x 0.48 = 383 m/sec
Suppose the temperature at this time = T K
Thus 383 ∝ I
The velocity of sound is 329 m/s at 273 K ( given )
Thus 329 ∝ II
Dividing I by II , we have
=
or = 1.25
and T = 339.8 K = 66.8° C
